Taking into consideration the medical, literary and epistolary texts dating back to the end of the second millennium and the first half of the first millennium BC, the author adopts, where possible, the theory of conceptual metaphors by Lakoff and Johnson. She investigates the cultural and social dynamics of the perception of disease and pain felt by the individual and by the society he/she belongs to, in an attempt to shed new light on some interesting aspects of the Mesopotamian culture of that period.

It probably denotes a skin mark and/or lesion, generally occurring on different parts of the body (of men, women, and sometimes also newborn children). This term is present not only in omen texts (physiognomic, teratologic, and terrestrial), but also in medical texts (both diagnostic and therapeutic). By analysing them, the present article will propose a more detailed interpretation of the word, so as to obtain a clearer idea of the type of skin problem indicated by umṣatu.

The purpose of this paper is to analyse these words by examining different types of texts (especially medical, but also omens and literary), to attempt to give an overview of stinging pain and its different shades.
